That being humor, sarcasm,mythology, and a great plot. It retells the Norse myths in modern times which I think is great because, it connects to the audience better. There was barely any profanity, just like only a couple curse words in it. There are violent scenes in the book, but it does not go overboard on it. It was an amazing book to read i would recommend it to 12+. Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard (Sword of the Summer)By: Rick RiordanGenre: Fiction, fantasy, and mythologyAlexandra Lopez11/27/15Period 1/2 Magnus Chase is your typical homeless teenager who avoids the police and truant officers, but that all ends when he becomes an einherjar. In his stay in Hotel Valhalla he finds out his father is a Norse deity and has received a prophecy. Now that he has escaped from Hotel Valhalla he goes on a quest with Hearthstone, Blitzen, and Samirah to retrieve the Sword of the Summer, but the people who Magnus believes he can trust is not all what they seem.Character ChangeIn the begining of the story, Magnus Chase is very sarcastic and does not take that many things seriously, but when he recives a prophecy from the Norns themselves he goes on the quest to complete it. When innocent lives are at stake, Magnus carefully plans out his decisions instead of jumping right in. The little world Magnus lived in just got a whole lot bigger.
